First hybrid cruise ship 最初のハイブリッドクルーズ船

The world's first hybrid cruise ship MS Roald Amundsen, owned by Norwegian cruise line Hurtigruten, is designed to sail in harsh weather conditions and can carry 500 passengers. Its first voyage will be to the Arctic.

The ship, inspired by Norway’s fleet of hybrid ferries, is named after Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer of the polar regions and a key figure of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. He was the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911.

The engines of the hybrid cruise ship run mainly on marine gas oil. However, its battery pack can power the ship for at least 45 to 60 minutes in ideal conditions.

The company believes that the battery will save 20% of carbon dioxide emissions compared to a ship running entirely on gas oil. Some ports now have charging stations for electric ships.
